X (Twitter) has a new feature that nobody was asking for: audio and video calls‚ following in the footsteps of social media giant Meta.The platform announced that the feature is now available to everybody‚ as of Wednesday.       IFLScience is not responsible for content shared from external sites.While probably useful to somebody‚ not everybody is keen. Facebook Messenger‚ which rolled out the feature back in 2015‚ is generally used to connect with people you know from the real‚ offline world. X‚ on the other hand‚ has grown as a platform for public dialogue and debate (as well‚ of course‚ as the memes). While you might follow somebody and they might follow you back‚ there's a good chance you don't want them to be able to call you directly at any time of the day or night.Currently‚ the option is enabled by default‚ but it is fairly simple to disable. Open the X app on your device and head to your messages. At the top right-hand corner is a cog‚ tap on it to reveal message options.Simply toggle the option.Image credit: X/IFLScienceThere you will be given the option to restrict calls to people you follow – or‚ for the truly chaotic user‚ let anybody who pays $8 a month for X Blue ring you if they fancy a chat.Simply toggle the "enable audio and video calling" option to off (turning the button grey) and you can tweet safely in the knowledge that nobody is going to call you about it.

As it turns out‚ developer Arrowhead Game Studios has its very own ‘game master‚’ inspired by Dungeons and Dragons‚ and they have powers to help swing the balance in either direction - including abilities yet to be revealed.

Dead Cells remains one of the finest action roguelike games on Steam‚ so whenever a new game appears that follows in its 2D platforming and combat mold‚ I’m always going to give it a look. The latest such contender is Spiritfall‚ which comes from small indie developer Gentle Giant and draws inspiration from one place that’s particularly grabbed my attention - platform fighters (that’s the likes of Brawlhalla‚ Rivals of Aether‚ Multiversus‚ and of course Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros).

It looks as if the Nintendo Switch 2 will continue to use Nvidia hardware‚ despite the green team's notable absence in the handheld PC space that is largely dominated by AMD. This was by no means a given‚ though‚ as the red team apparently put in a concerted effort to win Nintendo's favor.

I love roguelikes (and roguelites) more than any other genre. I also think Cyberpunk 2077 has one of the best worlds in recent games. So what happens when you mash these two things up into a top-down 3D hack-and-slash action game? You get the upcoming Meta-Ghost: The Breaking Show‚ and it has a free demo‚ served as a Steam prologue‚ available right now.
